Celestia Forums

None of the space craft (like hubble and ISS) in the default gnome-install show up for me. I can see the Names but not the objects. All of the planets show up just fine.
What have I done wrong?
I am running Fedora Core 4 and Celestia-1.3.2-3.

I'm no genius, but I'd check to make certain that you have the proper
models listed in the SSC files, and that the proper textures and models
have been placed the proper locations. See SSC below.


"Hubble" "Sol/Earth"
{
Class "spacecraft"
Mesh "Hubble.cmod"
Radius 0.007 # Hubble is 14 Meters across.
Beginning 2448007 # Was deployed on 25 April 1990.

ArgOfPericenter 187.6632
MeanAnomaly 172.3894
Epoch 2453462.75876236
}
Obliquity 28.4680
RotationOffset 224.9180
EquatorAscendingNode 43.4910
Albedo 0.10
}

The code above comes from MY system, and resides in the "spacecraft.ssc"
file in the "data" directory. Also, you may be missing textures in your
textures/medres directory.

Also, note the beginning and ending dates in the SSC if they are used.
If the spacecraft's SSC has an ending date which is prior to the date
on which you're trying to view the spacecraft, you won't see anything.

Just look closely at your SSC definitions to see what may be amiss.

Hope that helps.

I have just installed Celestia 1.3.2 from RPM on a machine running Fedora Core 4. It works fine except that spacecrafs are not displayed. If I select a spacecraft such as Hubble only its label is rendered. What is wrong?

Best regards,

Peter
